SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- A lawsuit by a business seeking $203,000 from former baseball star Sammy Sosa has been thrown out by a Dominican Republic prosecutor.

Adolfo Feliz said Friday that the suit lacked sufficient evidence.

Carim Abu Nabaa alleged that Sosa didn't pay him a commission of $150,000 on a house sale, $43,000 for a luxury watch, and $10,000 for getting Reggaeton singer Don Omar to perform at Sosa's 41st birthday party.
